Sale history

We currently track one active cycle for Lake County at a time and don't yet maintain a distinct archive of past sale events for this county -- when a cycle closes, the record here reflects the newest tracked cycle rather than an appended history. This is a known gap in the dataset, not a claim that Lake County has held only one sale.
